It gets stuck on "Checking Versions" and has been so for over a week. Any plan to fix this?

It's not just me btw, nobody is able to join (I've heard 4+ people confirm they are having the same problem)

What did GOG Support say when you reported this?
Posted October 28, 2019
I haven't reported anything, is there a link or way to do so?
Posted October 29, 2019
I reported to GOG, still waiting for their response. So far they asked me a for a screenshot of the error which I supplied.

I received a non-answer from GOG:

Thank you for providing more information.
In case you encounter issue when using Battle.net functionality we recommend that you contact the official support for the game:
Classic Games > Technical

You will have the option of filing a web ticket, or (depending on time of day and region) you might be able to request a phone callback or live chat support to get assisted with your issues.
You also have the option to 'Ask the Community' by using the forum link below:
Classic Games Support Forum
A common error that you might encounter indicates game ports 6112-6119 being closed:


Your Internet connection is either very poor or is not processing UDP packets through port 6112. You will be able to chat but will not be able to play games. Contact your internet service provider or your system administrator for assistance with opening this port.

The issue is on their end. Multiple users are encountering the same thing...

Who hosts the Global Gateway? Is it GOG or Blizzard?
Posted October 30, 2019
GOG hosts the global (as far as i know) blizzard hosts USEAST / USWEST / EUROPE

funny thing is blizzards servers were not working for a year, and then after gog announced they would offer hellfire all the sudden the old blizzard servers started working again.... I just wish we had a stable platform all users could use to play on.

If the old blizzard servers are working, surely we can swap out the gateway info in the registry to access them instead? I found a bunch of server listings from the other posts, which seem identical to those planted in the registry of my computer where I have my CD copy installed (which won't run without the Beelzebub mod), but those complain that I need to update my Battle.net version. When you say the old blizzard servers started working again, are you referring to D2, or what?

Also, while I'm at it - the store page has wallpapers among the "goodies", but I can't seem to find where they are. Anyone know, or was their non-inclusion that an oversight?

the original Blizzard gateways: US West, US East, Europe, Asia accept Diablo 1, Warcraft 2, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, and Starcraft 1. There was a brief period of time when D1 and WC2 were no longer being accepted by them, from mid 2018 to the launch of the GoG versions. After the GoG launch, the D1 and WC2 clients started being accepted again by the original gateways.

The original cd versions can be used to log into both the classic gateways and the GoG gateway.
However, the GoG version is inferior in that it can only be used to log into the GoG gateway; it gets rejected by the original four.

If you don't have an original cd, you can go ahead and pirate an iso of it; and you won't have to feel guilty as you've technically paid for the game already.

The original CD doesn't work for me on Windows 8.1 unless I run Beelzebub - even with the correct wrapper I get an error about needing DirectX 2.0 or something. Or it just flatout crashes.

I just got the game and am experiencing the same issue, anyone know if you play single player, can you take it online eventually?
Posted November 04, 2019
I just purchased the game as well and am not able to log into the battle.net global host. I have the ports forwarded correctly.
